BKK based Jetstar Asia do the most inhumane duties....BKK-SIN-PER...then turn around PER-SIN-BKK...that is a 19 hour duty...with no break. There is also no crew rest on their A320...the only time they are allowed to sit in their jumpseat is for taking off/landing + turbulence + eating crew meal.....at no other times are they permitted to sit down. If they have a good 'CSM' onboard, then they are permitted to block off a toilet and use it as crew rest. The crew take turns sleeping in there.
Selection onto A380 will be merit based, however it is not clear how they will select for the mainline fleet. As I have alluded to in another post....my guess is that preference will be given to the AO crew. Another preference will be given to those who are already on the Divisional transfer list.
I can assume that the company will choose FAs based on such things as:
1. Good BPRs
2. Satisfactory sick leave balances
3. Certified language skills, preferable Level 4, 5, 6 in the Qantas Priority Languages.
